Lesson on Chip

I know its been awhile....I've been riding regularly, I've just been so busy! I rode Chip today at Puckerbrush. He is a quarter horse, not sure of his age, but he's a real sweetie. The lesson itself was horrible, or rather I felt horrible. Like I couldnt get myself together, the last few minutes wasn't too bad. I'm going to be riding him in Training 4 this Sunday at the Puckerbrush school show. I was going to ride him a couple weekends ago in the Prix Caprilli (dressage test w/jumps) but we ended up cancelling the trip do to the weather. I can't wait till this weekend, I want to show so badly!
I made the Dressage team for Training 4. And we are doing two IDA shows. I've also decided to do some showing with the equestrain team, so I will be doing 3 shows with them :). Very exciting! Accomplishing all this is going to be a real juggling act!
I miss riding Boo already, I really liked that mare. Chip is nice, but he doesnt seem to have as much personality, and the other puckerbrush lesson horses I don't enjoy riding at all! Ce la ve.

Summer wrap up

Well the last few weeks of the summer were so hectic I completely forgot to record my riding. My last few lessons included riding Boo :), and clippy. Robyn wanted me to ride another horse to see how far that i've prgressed. Its hard to realize that when riding Boo because she is still learning everything. It was a good lesson with clippy. I feel like things are finally starting to click together for me. The way Robyn teaches is just so helpful, she makes it easy to understand what I should be feeling. The last lesson Amy and Glo came out to watch :). Robyn said I could ride anyone that I wanted and to no ones surprise I picked Boo. I miss her already, i've learned so much from her. Hopefully I can get in for a lesson with her on October break :). I have my first lesson of the semester with Sandy at Puckerbrush tomorrow. Its a private for an hour! I've been taking private half hour lessons all summer. Robyn makes me work HARD too. I haven't been that winded after a ride in a LONG time, so we shall see how I can hold up to my hour private. I can't wait to get back into the swing of things at school. My last year :). Lots of IDA shows to look forward to! I just hope I pass tryouts :)
